So I was just done writing my lengthy topic introduction post and clicked on “Preview” to have a look, and I only had to add a missing final period and post it, but I mistakenly clicked on my browser’s “Previous” button instead of clicking on “Create a Topic”, and – sadly – this time around I didn’t have a copy of the post in my clipboard, and now I’m very sad. ;n; ;n; ;n; ;n; ;n; ;n; ;n;
…and I believe that I’m not the first in this case
…and I note the following:
…and I believe that I’m not the first in this case
…and I note the following:
- (A) If the editor had created any kind of save of my message before (or when) I hit previous (or close the tab), provided that I can access this save, I would not be sad.
- (B) If hitting “previous” allowed to navigate between the Preview tab and the Create a Topic tab, instead of just bringing back to the topic list each time, I would not be sad.
- (C) If the page warned us and asked us to confirm that we want to discard the content, I would not be sad.
- (D) If the tab to edit the text was not named “Create a topic” but “Edit”, I would not be sad.
- (E) The Derpibooru editor is unique, it does not follow a common convention (like markdown), so using an external editor means missing on the rich text support provided by the editor (for spoilers, code, links, images, etc.).
So I’m doing four feature requests (A, B, C and D). Ideally, the four of them would be fullfiled (though (B) seems like a bad idea if any of the two others is implemented). To make things clear about (D), I believe the text “Create a Topic” should be displayed, but above the editor, or to the left of the editor tabs. In no case as the editor tab.
…and I hope that I’m (among) the lasts to experience this.
Thank you Derpibooru developers!
(should I post this on https://github.com/derpibooru/philomena/issues ?)
Fun fact: I did misclick in the page while writing this post too, ending up in some other page. Good thing that I was paranoidly doing copies of my post for every few lines I wrote.
